{"product_id":"bruno-cassinari-lalba","title":"Bruno Cassinari - The Dawn","description":"\u003cp\u003e Animal depictions in art have ancient origins, appearing even in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era. The subject of the rooster, in particular, has enjoyed great popularity among contemporary artists. Consider, for example, the many variations present in the work of Antonio Ligabue.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nThis engraving is a perfect example of the artistic language of Piacenza-born artist Bruno Cassinari as he approaches the subject of the rooster. He begins with a synthesis of forms that is undoubtedly a product of the Expressionist avant-garde. The rooster's volumes are reduced to the essential and constructed on a two-dimensional surface. The subject comes to life through the sheer vitality of the etching, nervous and elusive, expressing the animal's restlessness and sudden, unpredictable dynamism. The rooster's body, again due to the complexity of its design, moves within a complex, non-unique space. This is the expressionistic strength of Bruno Cassinari's artistic practice, in his ability to enrich the image with meaning and life despite a reduction in form and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eBruno Cassinari, Piacenza 1912 – Milan 1992. He trained first at the Piacenza School of Art and later at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. In 1939, he joined the Corrente group along with Guttuso, Migneco, Vedova, Birolli, Treccani, and Morlotti. In 1941, Elio Vittorini recognized his talent and curated his first solo exhibition. All his work is characterized by an expressionist synthesis combined with a reflection on Cubist deconstruction. In 1949, he moved to Antibes, where he met Pablo Picasso, Chagalle, Matisse, and Braque.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenca Daniele 1300","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215824499074,"sku":"DTEN001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/00c5173d-5ea3-422b-ae42-27e816ec17e3-copia.jpg?v=1768429505","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/bruno-cassinari-lalba","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
